i seen the way you looked at the sky
you looked right up at it with unclouded eyes
that ain't the way i see anything
i don't know if i could stand another day of rain
you left the nest so long ago
you walked right out one day, it was easy for you
ruffle your feathers everything you have in my face
i had to leave my wings at home today

cause i've seen you in the sky
how did you get so high?
cause i don't know how to fly
and you leave me paralyzed

i wonder why
only some of us get to touch the sky
you were born with blue baby boy blue in your eyes
you were born to touch the sky the sky my sky my sky

cause i've seen you in the sky
how did you get so high?
cause i don't know how to fly
and you leave me paralyzed

i know why
only some of us get to touch the sky
i know what privilege is
i know what mine is and why
if i could i'd steal yours
and i would fly so fucking high

cause i've seen you in the sky
how did you get so high?
cause i don't know how to fly
and you leave me paralyzed

i wonder why
only some of us get to touch the sky
all that i can do is watch you fly
all that i can do is watch you fly
all that i can do is say goodbye
